airline unions
Flight worker organizations
Labor organizations representing workers in the airline industry—pilots, flight attendants, mechanics, and ground crews.
Airline unions negotiate wages, benefits, and working conditions, and have historically wielded significant power due to the disruptive potential of strikes: The airline unions threatened to walk out during the holiday travel season.
